Softball Trades 8-1 Scores in Doubleheader Split at Chapman

ORANGE, Calif. – The Ithaca College softball team played to a split of a doubleheader at Chapman University on Thursday afternoon at El Camino Real Park in Orange, Calif. Ithaca took the first game, 8-1, before falling in the nightcap by the same score. The Bombers are now 4-4 on the season and Chapman is 10-8.

Game One: Ithaca 8, Chapman 1

The Bombers stole six bases and used a four-run fifth inning to top Chapman in the opener.

Ithaca built a 2-0 in the top of the third on a fielding error that allowed sophomore Nikkey Skuraton to score and then a double steal later in the inning brought in junior Allie Colleran.

Chapman pulled to within a 2-1 difference in the bottom half of the inning, but the Bombers got a run back in the fourth on an RBI groundout by sophomore Alex Kimmel that allowed freshman Abby Shields to race home.

The Bombers brought the game open in the fifth. A squeeze plated senior Gabbie Litz for the first run and then Shields ripped a two-run triple to bring in sophomore Alex Wright and senior Jessie Fleck. Shields scored the final run of the frame on an error.

Sophomore Annie Cooney score Ithaca's final run on an RBI single from Kimmel in the seventh.

Shields and Kimmel each went 2-for-4 in the game, while Colleran was 1-for-1 with a double, two walks and a stolen base. Fleck, Shields, Coonie Skuraton and sophomore Vanessa Brown all swiped bags in the win.

Sophomore Haley Congdon picked up her third win of the season in a complete game effort. Congdon gave up six hits with five strikeouts and three walks.

Game Two: Chapman 8, Ithaca 1

The Bombers found themselves trailing by a 1-0 count after the first inning, but tied things up in the top of the fourth as Fleck tagged up from third on a sac fly by Brown for Ithaca's lone run of the game.

Chapman answered with a run in the bottom half of the fourth and then tacked on five more in the fifth to put the game away. An insurance run was added in the sixth.

In the five-run fifth, the Panthers drove in four runs on a single and double, and the final three runs to cross the plate were all unearned.

Shields started the game but went just 1.0 inning and gave up one run on two hits with two walks. Freshman Shannon Grage took the loss in 3.0 innings in relief and surrendered six runs (three earned), while junior Payton Cutting cleaned up the final 2.0 innings of the contest.

Ithaca wraps up its West Coast trip tomorrow with a 12 p.m. PDT (3 p.m. Eastern) doubleheader at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.
